A while back I posted about my experience so far using my Motorola Q with my Acura TL’s Handsfree Link bluetooth system. There were some quirks overall but it seemed to work–at least the mainline scenarios did. Some folks also posted several comments with other issues they were experiencing at the time.
A few days ago I posted about the update I found and installed for the Q on Motorola’s site. I’m now happy to say it seems to have fixed all of the issues I’d run into so far and actually added features. In addition to the battery life I also now have the signal indicator coming through (see image above and compare it to the image in my first post). I was also unable to reproduce the problem where whenever you’d answer an incoming call it would play the dropped call sound, unmute the stereo for an instant and then mute it and put you back on the call. Now it seems to just answer it the way it was meant to in a nice smooth way. I tried it five times in a row and didn’t have any problems and it used to happen pretty much every time before so I’m thinking it’s really fixed.

Seems like you’re a lucky one. I installed the latest update on my Q, and now whenever I try to make a call I get the dropped call tone and the call routes back to the Q instead of through the speakers. I can get incoming calls fine though. Not sure what’s up…
You’re actually right AJ. I’ve actually been experiencing what you’re describing about half of the time now. I’ve ended up just being ready to issue a “Transfer” command a few seconds after it routes the call back to my phone. I’ve been meaning to post about my latest troubles with the Q but just haven’t gotten around to it… Will do soon but wanted you to know I’m not actually any luckier than you with this problem… :)
I just picked up a TL S Type and I am experiencing the same issues. I always have to issue a transfer no matter what when placing an outbound call. But I have no issues for incoming calls. Let me know if anyone figures this out.
I have an 04 TL that was fine until 2 days ago when I started have problems with outgoing calls. Up until now, my Moto Q would issue the hangup beep after I dialed and issed the “Call” command, but it would work fine. On Monday, it started to transfer to the phone right after issuing the hangup beep, and then I have to issue a transfer to get it back to the car. I have changed nothing, but I wonder if Verizon can issue updates to my phone over the air.
Hi Matt, I have my doubts that they’d be able to update your phone’s firmware over the air as it’s pretty much a full new OS install for the two updates I’ve so far installed on my Q (the only two I know of that are out). The behavior you describe though is the same I have now. You might want to check your firmware version and compare it to the various versions used for each of the updates. I’m guessing you can find that info somewhere on the Motorola site or on qusers.com somewhere.
